Chapter 208: Unraveling
"The prince is back?" Cui Keyin stepped forward and saluted, "Have you changed your clothes?" Let's set the table. ”
Zhou Heng said: "Don't be in a hurry to set the meal, tell me first, what are you thinking?" ”
Cui Keyin sat on the Luohan bed with him, told the results of Yan Qingyun's investigation, and said, "I really didn't expect my father to die so unjustly." ”
At that time, the two small guys who were brought to the Chaobai River fell into the water together. According to Xue Ping'an, they went into the water to save Cui Zhenjing, but the two not only did not save Cui Zhenjing, but put their lives into it.
Cui Zhenjing is the most outstanding son of the Cui family and carries the hope of the Cui family. He died unexpectedly, plunging the Cui family into extreme grief. Mrs. Zhang fainted on the spot after receiving the news, and was bedridden for many days after being rescued, until Cui Zhenjing's coffin returned to Qinghe, and forcibly dragged the sick body to the coffin and cried bitterly, fainting again.
Then the Su family hanged himself and followed Cui Zhenjing underground, the Su family sent people to interrogate him, and the Cui family was in chaos again. By the time everything stopped and the Cui family wanted to investigate Cui Zhenjing's matter, half a year had passed, and Xue Ping'an had enough time to erase the traces.
Moreover, who can say whether the incident of falling into the water was a misfall or being pushed into the water?
This matter has been delayed for more than ten years.
Zhou Heng listened quietly and said, "Don't ask the eldest uncle." Xue Ping'an was ordered to return to Beijing a month ago and served as the commander of the Xijiang Qing Dynasty in the household department. ”
This is the fifth product.
Cui Keyin Qi said: "He went from an experience to Wang Zhe's door before he was promoted to the fifth grade? ”
Zhou Heng said: "The experience of the government is only from the six products, if it is not for Wang Zhe's way." How can you upgrade three levels in a row. ”
Cui Keyin said hatefully: "This person, I will never spare him." ”
Zhou Heng said: "That's nature. Let's eat first, or the child will be hungry. ”
Speaking of children, Cui Keyin finally let go of these sad things for the time being. The two had dinner, and Zhou Heng proposed to go for a walk in order not to let her fall into memories again. The two walked out of the Purple Smoke Pavilion, walked slowly along the road, and unconsciously came to the small garden. Before I got closer, I was already fragrant with flowers.
Cui Keyin remembered the history of the flower girl. said: "She asked Lu Ying to give me a message. Reluctance to marry. I thought, maybe she can't let you go, so I asked her. Unexpectedly, she said that she only wanted to share my worries. ”
This is also the cleverness of the history of the flower girl. If naked/naked/naked, it means that he has a covetous heart for Zhou Heng. Can Cui Keyin spare her?
Zhou Heng let out a "hmm".
Cui Keyin paused. said: "I guess she still hasn't given up on you, so I decided to dry her first, if she is interested." Send her something more. ”
Her little bit of caution, if Cui Keyin can't see it, wouldn't she be blind to her identity from the Cui family in Qinghe? Although the Cui family doesn't have those private affairs, she has been in and out of the family since she was a child, and other people's families are not as quiet as the Cui family.
Zhou Heng picked a peony and inserted it on Cui Keyin's sideburns, took two steps back and looked at the lantern in Huanxi's hand, and said, "You can do it." I wanted to choose a good match for her, but I knew that she was unwilling to die or live, and I had no choice but to let her go. If she doesn't want to get married, she can keep it in the house. ”
Cui Keyin pursed her lips and smiled: "Where is she not married?" Nominally, it's your concubine. ”
Zhou Heng also smiled and said, "Since I became a fan, I have been very defensive of these people around me, and I can't trust people easily. I fell in love with you at first sight, and if you were a person in the palace, I would have restrained myself and didn't dare to show it. ”
This is the first time that Zhou Heng has so bluntly admitted that he fell in love with Cui Keyin at first sight, but Cui Keyin did not look half proud, but instead clenched his hand distressedly, and said: "Outsiders only say that you, as the most favored prince of Wenzong, must have a good time, how do you know that you are walking on thin ice?" ”
Otherwise, I wouldn't always pretend to be crazy and stupid, and treat myself as a fool in front of others.
Zhou Heng looked up, the small garden was full of all kinds of flowers and plants, and there were no tall trees, so it was extremely difficult to hide people. He said in a low voice, "I want to live, so I can only make those people unsuspecting me." ”
As long as he shows a little bit of intelligence, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will kill him by any means. Even if he pretended to be crazy and stupid, in the first two years after he arrived in Jincheng, he found out that someone had poisoned him several times.
Zhou Heng said: "Once, an inner servant coaxed me to climb a mountain, and there are also mountains on the outskirts of Jincheng. At the top of the mountain, he was so close to me that he could barely leave me. I became vigilant and immediately broke him away and went home immediately. Later, I found out that this person was placed by the Queen Mother. He received orders to attack me, and because their men had poisoned me many times and failed to do so, he wanted to trick me into climbing the mountain and push me down the mountain, taking advantage of my playful age. ”
Cui Keyin is both admiring and sad, admiring Zhou Heng for being so vigilant, sad that if Cui Zhenjing is half as careful as him, why should he be taken advantage of?
"Poor God, you finally have your own strength now." Cui Keyin said softly.
Zhou Heng hooked the corners of his lips and said, "Wang Zhe contacted some imperial histories, took out the ancestral precept that the clan was not allowed to interfere in politics, and impeached me for interfering in politics." ”
He didn't want to tell Cui Keyin about this, but seeing that there was always a trace of sadness lingering in her eyebrows, he wanted to draw her attention back from the deceased Cui Zhenjing, so he had to tell her this to make her worried.
Sure enough, Cui Keyin's eyes widened and said, "Uncle can someone make a move?" ”
"Well, there was a quarrel in the morning today, and in the end, Wang Zhe's people were speechless." Zhou Heng's tone was not without pride, and said: "Those who defected to Wang Zhe are all people who have unsatisfactory careers, and they are some speculators, how can they have any real learning?" In terms of eloquence and the ability to quote scriptures, where can they compare to Liu Youdao and these people? ”
"Is Liu Youdao also on our side?" Cui Keyin blinked her eyes and said, "This person doesn't seem to have a party affiliation." ”
Zhou Heng smiled: "Where are there any party members?" His ancestral home is Shanxi, and he is a party member in Shanxi. It's just that I'm usually more enterprising and like to be in the limelight. ”
So this person is impeached by everyone.
Zhou Heng helped Cui Keyin sit on the chair brought by the palace people, waited for the palace people to leave, and said: "Looking at the targets of his previous impeachment, none of them are from Shanxi. ”
I see. Cui Keyin said sincerely: "It's still the prince's heart." ”
Even noticed such a small thing, which shows that I usually pay more attention.
Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Believe me, I can protect the safety of your mother and son." Leave Xue Ping'an to me, I'll do this. ”
Cui Keyin looked up at him and said, "Don't you have to tell your uncle?" ”
This is not her business alone, but the Cui family's business.
Zhou Heng said: "Tell him that it's okay, how to deal with it, let me come." ”
Cui Keyin thought about it and agreed.
Cui Zhenyi is a servant of the ministry, and it is not impossible to find trouble in the household department. But it was more convenient for Zhou Heng to do it, so let Zhou Heng do it. (To be continued......)
